"UHS facilities admitted patients who didn’t need to be there to begin with, failed to provide adequate treatment and staffing, billed insurance for unnecessary services over excessive lengths of time, and improperly used physical and chemical restraints and isolation."

I happened across a post by Kirsta Bowman | karpoozy on Instagram & TikTok talking about Foster Power & wanted to take a moment to share with all of you. We hope you'll share it with the foster kids you know and love:
Foster Power is an app & site offering easy access to digestible information on the benefits, protections, & legal rights within Florida’s foster care system

So.
Orphan here and I spent the majority of my childhood in foster care.
I can say that it was nearly 100% religious nut-job families that I was placed with.
They were ALL physically and emotionally abusive and constantly used their religion to control and manipulate and cause harm. After puberty Many of these foster families also abused me sexual, mostly the women. I was used as a toy and a source of profit. I was kept as a human pet.
